So I was off reading threads and stuff when somebody joked sayin

"Indiana wants Me"

Now I got that old song stuck in my head.

I think they call it an ear worm...

Who the heck played that anyway?

Anyone who has any other "who played that song" questions or comments please throw them in...

police sirens}

 

Mmm mm-mmmm-mm

Mmm mm-mmmm-mm

 

Indiana wants me

Lord, I can't go back there

Indiana wants me

Lord, I can't go back there

I wish I had you to talk to

 

If a man ever needed dyin', he did

No one had the right to say what he said about you

And it's so cold and lonely here without you

Out there the law's a-comin'

I'm scared and so tired of runnin'

 

Indiana wants me

Lord, I can't go back there

Indiana wants me

Lord, I can't go back there

I wish I had you to talk to

 

It hurts to see the man that I've become

And to know I'll never see the morning sun shine on the land

I'll never see your smilin' face or touch your hand

If just once more I could see

You, our home, and our little baby

 

Indiana wants me

Lord, I can't go back there

Indiana wants me

Lord, I can't go back there

{police sirens}

I wish I had you to talk to

 

I hope this letter finds its way to you

Forgive me, Love, for the shame I put you through and all the tears

Hang on, Love, to the memories of those happy years

Red lights are flashin' around me

Yeah, Love, it looks like they found me

 

Indiana wants me

Lord, I can't go back there

Indiana wants me

Lord, I can't go back there

I wish I had you to talk to

 

Indiana wants me (this is the police, you are surrounded)

Lord, I can't go back there (give yourself up)

Indiana wants me (this is the police, give yourself up)

Lord, I can't go back there (you are surrounded)

So cool, thanks man. Now I can even work out the whole tune and relive that era. Hopefully the sirens will not be real this time;)

Moving right along now, how about

Who wrote/played "Burning Bridges"

Theme song to Kellys' Heros.

 

What ever happened to these one hit wonder bands?

 

BTW guys I know I could search this stuff but that would not be as fun...besides everyone that answers my questions I know is about my age.

Friends all tried to warn me

But I held my head up high

All the time they warned me

But I only passed them by

They all tried to tell me

But I guess I didn't care

I turned my back and

Left them standing there

 

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me

All the lonely feelings and the burning memories

Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door

Burning bridges lost forevermore

 

Joey tried to help me find a job

A while ago

When I finally got it I didn't want to go

The party Mary gave for me

When I just walked away

Now there's nothing left for me to say

 

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me

All the lonely feelings and the burning memories

Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door

Burning bridges lost forevermore

 

Years have passed and I keep thinking

What a fool I've been

I look back into the past and

Think of way back then

I know that I lost everything I thought that I could win

I guess I should have listened to my friends

 

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me

All the lonely feelings and the burning memories

Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door

Burning bridges lost forevermore

 

Burning bridges lost forevermore

and you can thank CKLW for that.

 

The BIG EIGHT!

 

Another Motor City Kid who grew up listening to that...;) And, of course, switched to WRIF when he figured out there was heavier stuff to be heard.

 

And WABX (when they were on).

But to make sure you know google,...assignment:


Find a song called barbwire.


Hint: Jamaica.

 

 

I tried, found some info on an album, but no words:mad:

 

I admit I am pretty busy with things, sorry if I cannot even finish your assignment:(

 

IT was never my strong point;)

At least one more if that is OK:)

 

Late 60s or or early 70s. The song was called, "Hitching a ride" It maybe Tommy James, but I cannot remember:mad:

 

Starts out something like this:

 

The sun comes up, a star goes by.

I nearly morning...

...

...

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin a ride...

 

Thanks ahead.

Would that be, "Hitching A Ride" by Jack Reno from the album of the same name, released on Target records in 1972?
:D

Sly
:cool:

 

I believe the hit version was by "Vanity Fare."

 

For Boosh: "Oh ma ma!...he got barbwire in his underpants..."

 

Gotta love those old Trojan compilations.

You guys are both right. Vanity Fare was the 45 I had, but I guess they did not write that song. I do not know how to cut a twinky bar in half so you can share your prize. Maybe first one to get to Vancouver can have first pick out which half they want:D

Just kidding, no prize, just my thanks.

 

Ok, one more. Back in 72 there was a hit for a while. I remember almost all the words but for the life of me I forget who played this song:

"The Wildwood Weed"

 

Ya know,

 

"The wild wood weed grew wild on the farm but we never thought it did no harm.

Things got fuzzy and things got blurry, and we never had to leave the barn..."

 

Who played that tune?:confused:?

 

Forget google(if you like), this is a memory game for those of us old enough(or young guys with dads/moms old 45 collection or who just like older tunes) to know, but with a bit of grey matter left to remember. Sorta like trivial pursuit for hippies and such:cool:

Oh wow, so that was Jim too!!!

 

Thanks!

 

Many good memories with his music. Spiders and Snakes is a Classic, real fun time music. I really miss those days, when songs were fun and funny, and usually 3 cords. Does anyone know off hand if Jim Stanfford has a Greatest Hits Album? Did he also do Swamp Witch?

 

Man I miss those days:(

 

Just talking about them makes my day a little brighter, sincere thanks for sharing:)

Please do, glad you like and your link was well worth the DL! I long so much for the good times back then again. Part of the reason I use FAB in my name and amps. Them were FAB times indeed.

 

I hope everyone feels free to share in this thread, no restrictions here, just a sharing of good memories and great times:)
